On April 22, Pastor Luke informed the Leadership Team of his resignation (effective June 30) in order to pursue doctoral studies at Duke Divinity School beginning this fall. All members and regular attendees of First Covenant ​should have received a letter from Pastor Luke in the mail (we apologize if we somehow missed you!) announcing this decision, but we also wanted to make that letter available here.

Please keep the Leadership Team in your prayers as they begin to work with leaders from the Northwest Conference to lay out a plan for next steps at First Covenant.
